Here's the ARRL/QST membership application with pricing breakdown:

I'm looking around to see if I can find any QEX numbers.

Don, if you have the November or December issues of
QEX, you might find a Post Office notice in there that
lists the actual production numbers. One of the
categories should be entitled something like paid
subscriptions while other categories include free
distribution and spoilt in printing, returned from
vendors, or some such.
These numbers might provide some insight into QEX's
place among the club's publications.
Paul,
I don't think I have any November/December issues of QEX (it comes
out
bi-monthly). I have never subscribed, but have picked up loose back
issues
at hamfests when I found that they contained an article on a topic
that
particularly interested me. But my reaction every time I thumbed
though an
issue was that as a paid up member, that information should have
been
published in QST as it always used to be.
Regardless of the value (or lack thereof) of ARRL membership, the
fact
remains that a large portion of the $39/year dues fee lies in the
QST
subscription. How much does it cost to subscribe to any other
magazine of
comparable size, weight and paper quality these days? As I recall,
you used
to be able to get family membership in the League, for cases where
more
than one family member was a ham and/or wanted to join ARRL, so
that
several duplicate copies of QST wouldn't show up at the same mailing
address
every month. The dues for each additional family member was only a
few
extra dollars. I'm not sure if they still offer family memberships
or not.
If you have seen a recent post office notice, I wonder what you
observed
about QEX's standing amongst the rest of the periodicals.
